ABJ30 Members and Friends, I am so very thankful to all of you for your support and interest in Urban Transportation Data and Information Systems over the last 6 years of my chairship! I look forward to attending the mid-year committee meeting at NATMEC as a "retired-Chair" (I'll try to sit next to Ed Christopher in the "retired-chair section"). I am leaving you in very capable hands of our new leader, with the ever-present support of all our amazing Subcommittee Chairs and Co-chairs - Stacey, welcome to the wonderful world of chairing ABJ30 as you officially take the reins, and welcome our new members, and please say "goodbye and thank you" to our retiring members! See you in Chicago in June! Regards, Kate Catherine T.
